El-Sayed’s ‘Queer Muslim’ and Pro-Palestinian Half-Sister Causing Headaches for the Campaign

Eman Abdelhadi, half-sister of Michigan’s Democratic candidate for Senate, Abdul El-Sayed, is a hater.

She hates America. She hates white people. She hates the University of Chicago, where she’s an associate professor in the school’s Department of Comparative Human Development. She hates Democratic moderates. 

She also hates ICE with the virulence of a true believer and the ignorance of a left-wing radical. During protests against ICE performing its lawful function of enforcing immigration law in a suburb of Chicago, she helped instigate a riot and, during the melee, spit on a state trooper and then resisted arrest.

Before her arrest at the ICE riot in July 2025, Abdelhadi made headlines for cursing out her employer at the Socialism 2025 conference. The conference describes itself as bringing thousands of “radical activists from around the country to take part in discussions about social movements, abolition, Marxism, decolonization, working-class history, and the debates and strategies for organizing today.” 

Abdelhadi had some very nasty things to say about the University of Chicago.

“F**k the University of Chicago, it’s evil, you know it’s a colonial landlord. Like, why would I put any of my political energy into this space? I kind of had a little bit of disdain for people who spent their time doing that,” she said.

So why in the wide, wide world of sports is she working there?

“Turns out, I work at one of the biggest employers in the city of Chicago. I work at a place that is a landlord, a healthcare provider, a police force, f**k that s**t, but they are, and a place where I have access to thousands of people that I could potentially organize… actually, this is where I need to build power. That’s possible structural leverage,” she said.

Mkay. So why are you working there?

It gets much weirder. Washington Free Beacon reports Abdelhadi is the author of the “funky, commie, queer novel” Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune alongside her “bestie,” coauthor M.E. O’Brien, a “trans communist” who wrote the 2023 book Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care.

Eeek.

“The novel is a fictionalized ‘oral history’ of ‘sex workers, antifascist militants, and survivors of all stripes’ who band together to create a ‘radically new social order forged in the ashes of capitalist collapse.'”

Another Democrat Busted! Former Columbus, Mississippi Vice Mayor Indicted For Money Laundering, Bid Rigging – Attorney Crashes Into Car After Leaving Court! 

Another day, another corrupt Democrat.

Former Columbus, Mississippi, Vice Mayor Joseph Mickens was arrested on Thursday morning for money laundering and bid rigging.

According to court documents, Mickens and local businessman Marcus Dawson cooked up a taxpayer-funded contracting scheme.

Joseph Mickens, who served as the Ward 2 councilman for more than 15 years, along with Dawson, allegedly rigged the bidding process for community center flooring jobs to ensure Mickens’ flooring company would get the bid and finish the work.

The two men lied to the Columbus City Council, claiming that Dawson’s HVAC business had completed the work.

Mickens was booked at Lowndes County Adult Detention Center and was released on a $15,000 bond.

Mickens faces up to 30 years in prison and $500,000+ in fines. Dawson faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Democrat Massachusetts Mayor Arrested on Fraud and Money Laundering Charges – Used $1.6 Million in Covid Loans as Personal Slush Fund to Pay Off Mortgages

A Democrat Massachusetts mayor was arrested and charged on Friday with fraudulently obtaining over $1.5 million in Covid business loans.

The Mayor of Lawrence, Massachusetts, Brian Depena, used the proceeds from Covid small-business loans to fund his campaign, pay his personal taxes and pay off nearly $900,000 in high-interest, hard-money mortgages on his properties, according to the Department of Justice.

According to the charging documents during the pandemic back in 2020 and 2021, Depena applied for a taxpayer-funded Covid-era Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDL”) for his tire business.

The EIDL loans must be used as working capital to provide relief to businesses that suffered economic losses during Covid.

However, Depena used the Covid loans to fund his struggling campaign, pay off two high-interest mortgages, and pay back taxes.

Per the DOJ:

Depena allegedly caused Tenares Tire to apply for and obtain an EIDL in the amount of $150,000 in June 2020 and then used the majority of those funds as working capital for the business. However, according to the charging documents, Depena needed cash by early 2021. It is alleged that his mayoral campaign was struggling to pay bills, he owed the IRS for back taxes and he owed almost $900,000 to two private, hard money lenders who were charging Depena 12% and 8% interest – significantly more than the EIDL rate of 3.75% – on loans that encumbered various properties Depena owned in Lawrence.

In April 2021, Depena allegedly caused a request for an increase of the Tenares Tire EIDL. On July 14, 2021, the SBA approved an increase of the loan by $350,000, bringing the total Tenares Tire EIDL to $500,000. However, the SBA did not release the funds for another month. While waiting, Depena allegedly sent the following texts (originally in Spanish, here translated to English) to his accountant and financial advisor, who had been assisting Depena with the EIDL application and modification.

AOC’s student debt unpaid as she embarks on costly egg-freezing journey

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has made at least $174,000 annually for nearly eight years as a member of Congress, but like many of her “Squad” colleagues, she has yet to put a substantial dent in her student loan debt, according to House financial disclosures.

The Bronx and Queens Democrat has owed between $15,001 and $50,000 in federal student loan debt since her election to the House in 2018. That’s the same amount she owes now, according to her August disclosure, where lawmakers report ranges for debt and income.

The “Tax the Rich!” pol reported less than $81,000 in total assets.

Recently, Ocasio-Cortez has suggested that she’d been saving up for some time instead to freeze her eggs, a process that can cost between $10,000 and $20,000 per cycle.

“I got sworn into the House of Representatives when I was 29 years old,” she said in an Instagram video. “There’s this flip side where you have to then grow up in the public eye in a time that most people usually get to grow more privately.”

Ocasio-Cortez amassed the loans while attending Boston University as an international relations and economics major between August 2007 and May 2011 — and went on to tend bar in Manhattan before her successful run for Congress.

The “Squad” Democrat has consistently backed student debt cancellation. During former President Joe Biden’s term, she even pushed the 46th commander-in-chief to cancel as much as $50,000 in debt per student borrower. But she’s not the only US lawmaker who’s still holding student loans.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has held up to $50,000 over the past eight years in student debt — despite her net worth ballooning for a time to as much as $30 million due to her husband’s winery and venture capital businesses.

Somali Daycare Owner with Long List of State Violations Wins DFL Primary for Minnesota House

Abdi Daisane, a Somali-born daycare operator, has won the DFL primary for Minnesota House District 14A, setting up a November showdown in a seat Republicans have held for years.

Abdi Daisane, a St. Cloud childcare-business owner, won Tuesday’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor primary for Minnesota House District 14A with 2,262 votes—62.52% of the total—defeating Paul R. F. Schumacher, who received 1,356 votes. The figures come directly from the Minnesota Secretary of State’s election results.

Daisane will face Republican Mike Conway in the November 3 general election. Conway won the Republican primary with 62.25% of the vote. The open district covers St. Augusta and portions of St. Cloud, Waite Park, and St. Joseph, according to KNSI’s election-night report.

Daisane, 38, was born in Somalia, spent 18 years in Kenya’s Dadaab refugee camp, and resettled in the United States in 2009.

He later moved to St. Cloud, earned degrees from St. Cloud State University, and opened Blooming Kids Child Care Center (licensed capacity 113). He has made expanding childcare funding and assistance a centerpiece of his campaigns.

The problem? His own daycare has a documented history of state violations.

Daisane is listed by Minnesota’s Secretary of State as the chief executive officer and registered agent of Blooming Kids Child Care Center Inc. The company was formed in 2017 and remains active and in good standing, according to the state’s business filing.

Far-Left Democrat Candidate Abdul El-Sayed Oversaw ‘Slaughterhouse’ that Killed Thousands of Dogs and Cats Under His Watch

Abdul must not like dogs.

Far-left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who has campaigned heavily on his credentials as a doctor and public-health official, is under fire over his time leading the Detroit Health Department, during which the city’s animal-control operation euthanized more than 4,000 dogs and cats.

According to records obtained by the Daily Mail, nearly 4,680 dogs and cats were put down by Detroit Animal Care and Control between 2015 and 2017 while El-Sayed served as executive director and health officer.

In 2015 alone, the facility killed 1,988 dogs and 272 cats, accounting for more than a quarter of all dogs euthanized in the county that year.

El-Sayed later boasted in a 2017 profile that his team had “rebuilt the animal control system,” yet the kill numbers remained high, and the live-release rate hovered around just 20 percent in 2015 before improving in later years.

Former employee Brittany Roberts filed a whistleblower lawsuit in 2015 describing the shelter as a “dog slaughterhouse,” claiming animals were kept in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions surrounded by feces, blood and vomit, that dogs were not routinely scanned for microchips before euthanasia, and that sick and injured animals received inadequate care.

Radical Kansas Dem Gubernatorial Nominee Sparks Fury After Her Very Sacrilegious Post About Jesus Christ Resurfaces

The Kansas Democratic Gubernatorial nominee is under fire after a disgusting and extremely sacrilegious post she made about Jesus Christ resurfaced this week.

As The Washington Examiner reported on Wednesday, State Senator Cindy Holscher had an exchange she had with a right-leaning user on X. In it, she criticized Senate Bill 149, legislation introduced that year that sought to restrict drag performances accessible to minors.

The argument occurred back on March 7, 2023.

At one point during the exchange, Holscher outlandishly suggested that Jesus Christ, who Christians regard as the Son of God, could have been either gay or transgender.

“I have no idea if Jesus was trans, gay, straight, etc.” Holscher wrote.

“But you seem to imply that a sacred figure is ‘less than’ if they aren’t straight. That’s too bad,” Holscher added.

She then demanded that the user provide “proof that schools are grooming children,” she added.

Suggesting that Jesus Christ could have been transgender is not only a true slap in the face and mockery of the Christian faith, It’s also the dumbest possible statement because 70% of the Kansas adults identify with the Christian faith.

A candidate obviously cannot win a conservative state like Kansas if they mock Christianity.

Social media users responded with disgust after learning what Holscher said.

Wisconsin Election Update: At Least 1 of 5 “Human Errors” in Milwaukee Democrat Primary Caught on Camera

The City of Milwaukee has faced rightful criticism of how they conducted the 2026 Democrat primary on Tuesday evening.

As The Gateway Pundit has reported, there was a discrepancy with 5 out of 9 ES&S DS950 high-speed central scanners when election workers allegedly exported “audit logs” instead of “results,” leaving Wisconsin wondering who would be the gubernatorial candidate for the Democrats.

Francesca Hong, a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, who was favored by 22 points in the last polls before voting and in five polls with an average margin of Hong +22.8 points, lost in the late-night count to the establishment candidate, David Crowley by just over 3,200 votes.

A camera crew for CBS58 Milwaukee caught at least one moment when the “audit log” was exported, rather than the results.

In the photo, you can see “Export Audit Log” written at the top of the menu and a pop-up window that says “Please Wait… Exporting Audit Log”.  Timestamps on the machine show that this occurred at 10:16 p.m. on August 11, 2026.

A separate image shows the proper menu for selecting either Configuration, Results, or Setup.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul BRAGS About Spending Millions of Tax Dollars on Legal Bills for Illegal Immigrant Children

The New York Post just did a story about how New York’s Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul is spending upwards of $7 million in taxpayer dollars on the legal bills of illegal immigrant youths in the state.

When the Post promoted the story on Twitter/X, Hochul jumped in and bragged about it.

Why is it that every single Democrat is so determined to let the public know that they care more about people in the country illegally than they do about American citizens?

This is the story from the New York Post:

Hochul shells out over $7M to cover legal bills for 1,400 migrant children in NY

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the Empire State will be shelling out over $7 million to cover the legal bills for more than 1,000 unaccompanied migrant children across New York.

The $7.25 million in funding will cover an estimated 1,400 migrant kids facing removal proceedings, including about 250 in detention, the governor said at a press conference in Manhattan alongside Mayor Zohran Mamdani and state Attorney General Letitia James.

The announcement came after the Trump administration let its contract with a network of about 100 providers working with migrant kids nationwide lapse in July.

“It’s cruel. It’s illegal. And for nearly two decades our federal government required by law that these children be protected when they cross the border,” Hochul railed.

The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, passed during President George W. Bush’s tenure, required the US government to provide legal representation for kids in deportation proceedings.

Children caught crossing into the US alone are generally entrusted to the federal government and placed in the care of an adult sponsor, typically a parent, relative or family friend by the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

The Dems’ Great White Hope Just Got Humiliated in Michigan

Pity poor Gavin Newsom, whose national ambitions — thankfully for those of us who don’t live in California — appear permanently stymied by his conspicuous corruption and incompetence. The latest evidence comes from Michigan, where the would-be Democrat presidential contender was just humiliated in the state’s deepest indigo of blue enclaves. 

Calling it Newsom’s “swing (and miss) state tour,” Politico reported on Wednesday that his “buzzy X posts and vertical videos” from Michigan “this week suggest a slam dunk trip to an early nominating state.”

But even though Newsom’s social media feed racked up “a million views of a 65-hour tour,” Politico noted that “the posts may also be the latest sign that social media is not real life.”

Translation: It was a trip notable mostly for bad execution and embarrassing turnout. 

Rep. Debbie Dingell, “the Downriver doyenne largely responsible for nearly securing Michigan’s status as the fifth 2028 nominating state,” told the magazine, “I didn’t hear from the governor. I didn’t expect to: I’m a car girl.” That’s likely in reference to Newsom’s 2035 mandate banning new ICE vehicle sales in California.

Newsom snubbed Virgie Rollins, whom Politico described as “the influential chair for the DNC’s Black Caucus.”

There’s more:

Some Michigander politicos pointed out that Newsom canceled a fundraiser with state AG nominee Eli Savit that included the controversial host Kelly Neumann, according to an invite obtained by POLITICO and circulated to some Democrats who didn’t realize the event was canceled when Newsom’s team was made aware of Neumann’s background.

Newsom initially planned two competing fundraisers in Ann Arbor on Sunday, one for Savit and one for the state House Democrats. When the latter found out about the Savit fundraiser they pulled out, citing a small Ann Arbor donor base.

Saying Ann Arbor has a small Democrat donor base is like saying you couldn’t spot any tech bros in Palo Alto. 

“He had a lot of good meetings,” Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel told Politico, adding Newsom was a big hit at a local barbecue.
